The scrappy crew always puts a smile on my face with their reviews and listened to them for years. So many episodes I re-listened to and find new things. Cheers to you guys here’s to several more years of amazing movie reviews and critiques.

Like you guys get paid to give these phony takes. Disappointing... more
